There's a Surprise Inside!

Or... How is this post like a box of CrackerJacks?

So in my last post I said that the free update for my FPS Environment Pack was coming with "a few surprises". Now that most of those surprises are just about nailed down I thought I would give everyone a sneak peek.

Aside from the spring time version of the original environment...


The new demo environments will include shiny goodness of the Modernization Kit by Alex Scarborough.


I like to try to showcase community resources that I would want to make games with whenever I can, and the Modernization Kit, which is still in beta, is a very cool. There is more to it than just fancy water, but you can grab it and check out the details over on the MK thread.

Tom Feni has been very generous and donated some very cool animated butterflies to the update. They look great and really help add life to the setting.


And last but definitely not least. Thanks to Jon Jorajuria, Tim, Joe, and many others, I am really happy to be able include...


But it ain't done just yet. Its very close, but there is still a little work to do here and there before it's just right. I want to get the butterflies moving around the fields, there are some normal maps to polish, and user docs to update. And if the timing works out I may be able to add a few other goodies.

Thats all for now, I have to get back to work.
